trail, inasmuch as the railway com-
paDy HOLDS its charter from
the Legislature, to whom alone
it is amen sble. AS 10 franchises grained
10 the railway company by the city, be
argued that they are not, nor can they be
held to be, contracts binding as between
individuals.
Judge Crawford, attorney for Mr..
Smith. answered Judge R0birsOn's srgu-
ment touching the nature of the railway
charter, in effect, that this disqualification
urged against Mr. Conneris not by virtue
of his connection with company
properly chartered, subject to legislative
restrictions, but that the disqualification
exists because Mr.. Corners company is
at present under contract with the city to
perform certain acts in consideration for
certain privileges, and that, therefor !,
under the ordinance prohibiting contract
OTs from holding office, Mr.. Conner Is dis
qualiti.d.
Mr.. Robert Seay, continuing for Mr.
Smith, argued in the SANE line. He cited
the disqualification CT q judge when any
case is on trial in which the Judge is di
rectly or indirectly interested, as ansl0-
gOus 10 this contest. He referred to q

withdrew from race for alderman,
stating that, under legal advice,
ne was satisfied Of his disqualification by
virtue Of his conuec ion with the city
watprwOTks. Mr.. Sesy read the ordinance
disqualifytpg all persons directly or in
directly interested in public works aud
institutions from holding office, and held
that the word Institutions includes rail-
ways. He enumerated several duties
which the railway company has obligated
itself to perform, such as the paving Of
streets, building Of bridges and cuiverts,
etc declarlr e that such obligations were
made in consideration of a valuable fran
chise, and that, as Mr.. Conner is inter
ested in the performance of this contract.
he is therefore disqualified.
Mr.. Cowart, attorney for w. G. Conner,
spoke in the line of Judge Robinson's
argument.
At the conclusion of the argument as
to eligibility, 2 resolution was adopted
to seat w. c. Conner, Mayor-elect ap-
parent, and Iesye the investigation of
illegal voting TO a subsequent meeting.
Mayor Brown administered the oath and
Mr.. CUnnOr took his seat.

He spoke chiefly touching the alleged dis
qualification of Mr.. Conner on account
of his being interested in an existing cor

that while being party to

tract with the city. Touching the famous

New Designs in JeWelry.
From the Baltimore Sun.

TJOHt tNc DdtttHtOFe sun
In lace pins and brooches the favorite pat
terms just now are in the shape of flowers,
enameled in their natural colors and having
either diamond dew drops or other gems set
upon them. Some of the pansies lately
shown are apparently too delicate to handle,
so natural is the soft, velvety texture and
color initiated by the enameler Chrysan-
themums, bundles of white and purple violets,
apple blossoms, primroses and begonias are
the most popular of these goods. A peculiar
pin is of oxidized silver and consists of three
crescents placed lengthwise on a bar, the
centre one being half an inch below the
other two The surface of the crescent is
hammered, and upon the centre one sits a
solemn owl in repose with large topaz eyes.
Within the crescent at the right is flying
silver bat, whose sparkling ruby eyes are
extremely realistic. In the crescent at the
left is shown flying nighthawk with eyes
of swapping diamonds A star sapphire in
a daisy of diamonds also makes an exceed
ingly handsome brooch, while bugs and
beetles, whose bright colors are carried out
on wings, body and thorax by gems of APP
propriate color, can be seen in great variety.

Advice to Those Travelling in 81 eepers

From the Medical aud Surgical Reporter
For men light cap, one that will cover
over the ears, so as to serve as nightcap,
will be desirable. In cold weather a wooden
cap is best This cap should be put on as
soon as the car is entered. A loose blouse
should take the place of the coat usually
worn. Slippers must not be worn. If there
is draft in the car, face it; do not let it
strike the back Have the bed made with
its head toward the engine; the dust will
then be driven to the foot, where it will do
the least harm. But be sure to have a
sufficient quantity of bed clothes to keep
warm. A soft, loose-1nit wooden hood is
the best headwear for women; this should
be worn at night also 1t should be warmer
in winter than in summer months. The
corsets should be removed at night and a
loose WOODEN wrapper worn for night-dress.
The stocking supporters, as well as every
constructing band around the waist, should
be looseDed Every adult should take from
five to ten grains of quinine on going to
bed. 1t will be well to rub the hands, feet,
face and neck with little vaseline at the
same time.

Trees That Abound in Paris.

Paris Dispatch to the London Daily Telegraph
Many of the chestnut tEees which are
planted in the Champs Elysees and other
parts of Paris have this year lost their
leaves before the usual time and donned
fresh foliage This change usually takes
place about Oct. l5 and the fact that it has
occurred at the present time is regarded as
the sign of a rigorous winter. In connec-
tion with the Paris trees | see that some in
terested person has taken the trouble to
controvert the fact that planes abound in
the Place de la Roquette, as was stated in
the account which appeared in your columns
of a recent execution. Now, it is well
known that the place in question, as well as
the adjacent bouevards, are thickly
planted with planes, sumacs and syca-
mores the first named being the most
numerous. Any one who is curious on the
subject of Paris trees can get full informa-
tion at the School of ArbOriculture where
he will be told that planes abound in nearly
every quarter of Paris where a green leaf is
to be seen. They are TO he found for in
stance, on the Boulevards de la Madeleine
and the Capueines, on the Boulevard HauSs-
mann, the Boulevard Beaumarchais, the
Boulevard Richard Lenoir, and the Place de
la Bastille The Avenue des Champs Ely
sees is, of course, famous for its cheSnutS
which also predominant on the aristocratic
Boulevard. st. German and on the busy
Place de la Bourse. Next in number come
the sycamoreS acacias, Sumacs, and elms.
The introduction of trees into the city was
mainly the idea of M. Bergman, who is now
Superintendent of Baron James de Roth
schld's gardens and Conservatives at Fer
rieres and whose son, M. Ernest Bergman
is Secretary of the French Horticultural
Society.

1T WAS LOADED.

Johnnie Lueders Shot While Trying
to Look Through a Loaded Rife.
Johnnie Lueders looked into the muzzle
of loaded rife yesterday and now he viii
be laid up for some time with a wound in
his jaw. Johnnie was with his father and
younger brother over on Hutchinson
Island. He had a small target rifle. and had
been shooting at a mark. After loading the
rifle he set it down, and with a stick pulled
back the hammer and looked into the muz-
Ele TO see if he could see through the loaded
file. The stick slipped off the hammer and
the cartridge was discharged. The
bullet struck Johnnie under the
jaw and tore through the flesh,
coming out just in front of his
ear. His father and younger brother
brought the boy across the river and took
him to the City Dispensary, Dr. Cass ex-
amined the wound and sent the boy to DR..
Dunn, who dressed it, The bullet was a
small one and fortunately did not strike a
vital spot. IL will probably be a long time
before Johnnie will look into the muzzle of
loaded rife again

He Tells Some of His Experiences at
Newport and Larchmont.
The bogus English Lord and confidence
crook, Ernest A. c. Paget, alias Charles
Evelyn Wood alias Charles Manners, alias
Guerson, who created such stir in New
port and other Northern watering places
last summer, and who stopped at Savannah
on his way South, IS now serving a thirty
days sentence in The New Orleans police
Jail as a dangerous and suspicious character
The account of Paget's arrest was given in
the MORNING NEWS several days ago. The
first attempts to draw him out after he was
arrested failed. He had very little TO say
about himself, and refused to talk except
to deny that he was the individual described
as Paget. Letters which come addressed
to Paget were refused by him
After awhile though, ne became com
municative, and related some Of his expert
ences. He said that he had adopted the
name of Paget because it was that OF very
prominent English family, and would
doubtless give him the entree into society
He had jolly, good time at both Newport ,
X. l., and Larchmont, another watering
place, which he describes a. most beautiful
At Larchmont he hired yacht, the Ger
sldine, cat-rigged boat, paying $40 a week
for the rent of the boat He bought a dog
cart anu team Oh Ile nOfSeS, winch ne
drove tandem. He sailed over to Newport
from Larchmont and AYERS that he was re-
ceived with open arms, was admitted to the
best society and the clubs, and that night
went TO ball at the Casino where he was
introduced to everybody of consequence.
The next day he was fairly besieged
by invitations to visit the best
families there, and was kept busy answer
ing these invitations Affairs went on
swimmingly until the Duke of Marlborough
arrived, who knew him personally and that
he was not what he represented himself to
be. He then concluded to leave Newport
rather than meet his distinguished country
man. His finances were just then at their
lowest ebb and he left his bills unpaid and
skipped.
He is now very anxious to get out of Jail
and to shake the dust of the United States
from his feet forever.

SOME FAST RUNNING.
The Fastest Time Ever Made by
Southern Railroad.

Railroads all over the South are just now
all claiming the credit of having made the
fastest time on record The South Carolina
railway has just made a record that is
pretty hard 10 beat The run was made
last week from Columbia to Charleston. 1t
was at the time of the landslide at Saluda,
and the train was run as a special 70 bring
down the DELAYED passengers from Asheville
The train left Columbia at 1 :02 p. M. with
engine number No. Is in front of it, and
Engineer Brissenden at the lever and rolled
into the Charleston depot at 3:52, making
the distance Of 100 miles in 10 minutes. in
Guiding eight stops.
This record for long distance running has
probably never been surpassed at the South,
except in one instance on the Georgia rail
road. 1t was during the Black Colquitt
campaign for United States Senatorship,
says the Augusta Chronicle, when Mai
Black was to address the members of the
legislature a special train was made up
for number of citizens who wished to go
up 10 hear him. The trip from Augusta TO
Atlanta, distance of l7l miles, was made
in three hours ami twenty-five minutes,
with nine stops, seven of them long ones.
From COnyers to Atlanta, a distance of
thirty-one miles, six stations were passed
and the run made in thirty-four minutes
This is the best known record made in the
South, but it is very little better than that
made by the South Carolina road In the
case of the latter eight stops were made
one of seven, one of four minutes, and the
rest of one minute each, so that the actual
running time was l53 minutes. The dis
lance from Columbia to Orangeburg, So
miles was made in fifty-one minutes
The best known record for long distance
running on the Atlantic Coast Line was
made last winter by delayed fast mail
train, which covered the distance of 1856
miles between Weldon and Wilmington in
20S minutes. The special relief train sent
out from Charleston by the Northeastern
railroad on the night of the disaster at the
Santee trestle, sped on its mission at the
rate of nearly a mile a minute. The dis
lance from Ashley junction to Monck's
Corner, twenty-four and half miles, was
run in twenty-five minutes. The train con
sisted of two coaches and an engine.
